    There is some controversy about this. I thought it was funny.

    I thought it was funny too. It's comedy. What do people want?

    You want more comedy? Check out the responses to his bit.

    Our world is now jam-packed with the humorless.

    Bill Burr is always controversial....that's part of his appeal. But he's also almost always hilarious

    I imagine it's mostly white women creating the controversy.

    It was funny.

    he's gone after white women before:



    of course, he is married to a black woman and he riffs on that a lot:



    he got a lot of shit for this bit:

    Haven't had the chance to watch the monologue but I'm sure I'll appreciate it. He is a top 5 current comic for me.

    yeah. He does a lot of stuff about race. It's entertaining to watch youtube channel reactions of black people to his riffs on race

    and, he does a lot of material about women and feminism. That's when he gets the most pushback

    I was tempted to say "That's not one bit funny, mister." But then I thought someone think I was serious instead of trying to be funny.

    Most of it was funny. There were a few times he took it a little to far, but that is the nature of the comedian.

    I wasn't at all offended, but I also didn't laugh even once. It was amusing commentary, but not ha-ha funny to me.

    My wife thought it wasn't funny and said he can't really say that. So there you go.

    It was funny but he held back too much, but being it’s network television he can’t really do what he does best.

    I'm with your wife. I'm not saying I disagree with the man just saying I couldn't relate.
